First a late goal, then the apparent equalizer, and finally the away win—the London derby between West Ham United and Arsenal delivered tension until the last second. Leandro Trossard secured the 1-0 (0-0) for the Gunners with his strike (83′), keeping them on course for the Premier League title. Callum Wilson’s apparent equalizer (90’+5) was disallowed by the referee following a VAR intervention for a foul.
For Arsenal, it is a significant step toward their first English title in 22 years—the league leaders maintain their five-point advantage over closest rivals Manchester City. International player Kai Havertz, recently carrying a knock, was brought on in the 67th minute.
As early as the 9th minute, Trossard was unlucky with a header that hit the crossbar, while West Ham had their first chance just before half-time through Taty, but goalkeeper David Raya proved unbeatable. All of this came five days after Arsenal’s progression to the Champions League final with a 1-0 win against Atlético Madrid.
Manchester City had previously won 3-0 against Brentford: Jérémy Doku (60′), Erling Haaland (75′), and Omar Marmoush (90’+2) scored for the Citizens, who still have a game in hand.
